Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the margarine. Once melted, remove from the heat and stir in the brown sugar and white sugar until well combined.
3
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
4
To the melted margarine mixture, add the prepared vegan egg substitute and vanilla extract. Mix well until smooth.

Gradually add the dry flour mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined.
6
Fold in the vegan chocolate chips and chopped walnuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
7
Allow the cookie dough to cool in the refrigerator for about 1 hour. This will help the cookies maintain their shape while baking.
8
Using a tablespoon, drop rounded balls of cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space in between for spreading.

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly underbaked but they will firm up as they cool.
